"Oscar Feldman is ready, with Oscar e Familia, to put his own stamp on the alto saxophone. Not since the fire of Jackie McLean, the cool breeze of Lee Konitz, Eric Dolphy's rhythmic advances, Ornette Coleman's Harmolodic theories, and Steve Coleman's mBase concepts, has someone attempted to create a new language for that instrument." – Raul D'Gama, All About Jazz "Oscar has a very strong music personality." – Lalo Schifrin "Sharing solo turns with tenorist Mark Turner, Feldman shows that he knows and loves to swing." – Downbeat Magazine Oscar Feldman Quartet Appearing At Saturday, September 3rd 7:30pm Oscar Feldman- Alto & Soprano Saxes Dario Boente- Piano John Benitez- Acoustic Bass Francis Benitez- Drums Club Bonafide 212 East 52nd Street New York, NY 10022 write your comments about the article :: © 2016 Jazz News :: home page |
